Create Gourmet Designer Stuffed Cupcakes 

Class Supply List


All of the items needed are available at your local Meijer's grocery store:

*One box of any flavor and brand of cake mix you like.  Note: the moist varieties tend to produce cupcakes that are super soft, and this sometimes makes it difficult to put fillings in them (the cupcakes start falling apart).  If you can't find non-moist cake mix you can still use one of the moist varieties by simply cutting in half the amount of butter, margarine, or oil the instructions tell you to mix in.  Bake the cupcakes in regular paper cupcake holders (if you have larger size cupcake/muffin pans and want to make big cupcakes - you can).  

Bring a total of twelve (or at least six large) UNFROSTED cupcakes to class. 

*Also, bring any regular paper cupcake holders you have leftover.    

*One can (any brand) of vanilla ready-made frosting you like (if you want to make frosting from scratch that's okay too - bring about two cups).
*Two cans OR two jars of two different flavors of pie filling OR fruit preserves (like you put on your toast - these are the fillings for your cupcakes)  
*Sprinkles/jimmies, colored sugar, etc., any decorations you have in your cupboard (if you have any chocolate chips or heath toffee bits - they're okay to bring too)  

*Two cans of 6.4 oz. Betty Crocker Easy Flow Decorating Icing (these are found in the baking supplies aisle where the sprinkles and other decorating items are).  Select one can in the color green - you can choose what color you like best for the other can.   Note:  If you already have knowledge of cake decorating and would like to bring your own frosting along with tips, bags, and (optional) couplers, please do!  For the frosting, you will need two cups of white (this will be used to frost your cupcakes with) one half cup of green frosting, and one cup in any other color.  For the tips - bring a star (#16 or #18), a leaf (#352 or #67), and a round (#3 or #4).   

Bring from home:
Half roll each of wax paper, saran wrap, and paper towel. 

Half box of toothpicks, 

Four soup/cereal size bowls (used to mix food colorings into frosting), 

One regular dinner knife (a plastic knife is okay to bring),

Six teaspoons (these are spoons we eat with - not 'measuring' teaspoons - plastic spoons are okay to bring),

Scissors,

Tthree wet dishcloths (store in a baggie),

A cookie tray to carry your finished cupcakes home on,

Pen and paper for notes. 

Note: Please open up the cans of fillings at home and cover them with saran wrap before coming to class.  If you'd rather open them up in class please bring a can opener with you.   If you'd like to bring a camera to take pictures of your cupcakes in various stages of construction - please do!
